Our yard sale was very successful! The sale brought in 1500 thanks to all of the wonderful donation. We even had stuff coming in Friday night. We are so thankful!
Yay! YIpee yay!
What's next:
We sent in a portion of the money and all the pictures. It takes them 3 weeks (give or take) to finish up their portion of our profile. At that point we will pay another 2000. Then hopefully go active-meaning we could get a match. We aren't all the way funded so we are looking into chick fa la adoption fundraiser night. We sent in the paperwork and we are waiting to hear back.
For now I am in over my head with my young women's president calling-getting the girls ready for girls camp, Wednesday night activities and arranging rides to all the things coming up and end of the year evaluations (tomorrow-ugh) and paperwork at work. Only 12 days school days left with my 2nd graders :( and Leah Beth and Caroline preparing for a dance recital. I can't believe it's almost summer!!!!

i will be voting for YOU as mother of the year Gretchen. Make that Parents of the year. I know little ol' Steve isn't sitting on the couch while you do this so hang in there. I feel like I'm on a fast moving train with you. :) congrats on the good fortune at the yard sale! If you do another, I bet it will be even more successful. You'd be surprised what people will bring out of their closets and you can advertise in your neighborhood that you'd love any donations for your adoption yard sale. anyway... love you!!
Yay!!! You better have coming to visit me on you list of summer plans! You need some good R&R, right? Along with some good oxy.release, and some laughter till our tummy hurts?
